Used the @Mickey recipe for turbo ribs, and never going back. Dry brine for 45 minutes, mustard, DP rub 15 mins, DP rub again 10 mins, 1:30 @ 350*, cherry wood smoke. Additional 5 minutes with Ogre Sauce. So incredibly good, and wife loved them so much. No more 5 hour ribs for me.

    Looks delicious!

    Ah, another convert! Now you need to try a turbo butt. That is where you really will learn to appreciate the time savings that a turbo cook gives you without a loss in taste.

    Did you notice a change in texture?  I've heard that ribs take on a different texture when cooked at higher temperatures compared to low and slow. They look delicious.

    No, not really. They still pulled off the bone, rather than fall off. I've done low and slow and turbo, and turbo is the way to go.

    I did a turbo butt as well (link). Definitely a convert.

    So these cooked in 1.5 hours? They look perfect. I'm obviously doing it wrong.

    I've cooked ribs in the oven at 325 and if memory served me right i think it took 2.5-3 hours.   350 degrees really change cook time by that much?

    I gotta admit those look really good, but my turbo cooks have been very sub par.  I guess I'm just an old school guy and low n slow will always be how I do it.

    Yes it does. Besides unless you get a thrill out of cleaning the grease splatters off your oven's interior it really is better to turbo cook them in your BGE. The only thing I will add which hadn't been repeated tonight (sorry @Lit if it has B) ) is there is no need to foil turbos. To me the foil ruins the bark by making it mushy.

    I think you get some good convection action in the egg that probably helps it along vs a standard oven.

    Those look delicious.  This turbo rib cook has peaked my interest.   I have a rack of baby's in the freezer already, might have to sling them on the egg tonight for dinner.

    I use to do the ribs in the oven during the winter months.   I have an egg now do the oven got forced into early retirement

    My oven is convention.  But i just got the egg last weekend so i doubt the oven will get much use anymore.

    Turbo you still do the bend test or tooth pic test right?
